It doesnt take a surreptitious phone camera to get caught in a viral
video. Smartphones have cast a decentralized web of surveillance over
the world, with bystanders ready to document and broadcast any
incident containing a hint of drama. But what Andy Byron, the former
C.E.O. of the data-tracking software company Astronomer, and Kristin
Cabot, the head of human resources at the same company, had to fear
was a good old-fashioned jumbotron. At a Coldplay concert in
Massachusetts last week, the two were caught snuggling on the stadiums
screen. As soon as the couple realized that their image was onscreen,
they broke apart. Byron, who is married, dodged off camera. Cabot, who
is not his wife, spun to face away and hid her face in her hands. But,
of course, it was already too late for them to stop the scene from
spreading, especially after Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay,
observed from the stage, Either theyre having an affair, or theyre
just very shy. The clip instantly took off on social media (one TikTok
post capturing it has more than ten million likes) and fuelled plenty
of traditional media headlines, too. Byron and Cabot werent
necessarily living remarkable lives, but they happened to get caught
in the magnifying glass of the internet at an inopportune moment.

thorough search for information on the topic yielded only two books
and limited published research. When a Boston hospital hosted a
relevant conference, I sat in the audience thoroughly overwhelmed,
alternating between teary sniffling and frantic note-scribbling. But
there was one speaker who made me feel hopeful. When I tracked him
down after his talk to thank him, I found all the wonders and worries
Id carried for six years spilling out of me. He listened intently, put
his hand on my arm, and said, You have a great story. Have you ever
considered doing any public speaking? Id laid bare my utter confusion
and uncertainty about the high-impact decisions I was making with so
little expert guidance, and here he was, a leader in the field, saying
that others could learn from me? I laughed but gave him my number.
